First we want the = total freedom offered by the Westy BUT with = aging parents and the need to be reached = if necessary we are toying with the idea = of a cell phone.

Question = #2 does anyone know of a system that is = a "pay as you go" rather than a = monthly rate? I hate the way most companies = do it with a minimum 1 year lease at X dollars = per month.
